The book's chapters answer questions like: Where did these instruments come from? How these instruments work? Who makes them and how are they made? How do I choose and buy a brass instrument? How do I rent a brass instrument? How do I take care of my brass instrument? It also provides readers with an instrument diary and in-depth glossary of terms.
